Is there a proper way to read the Bible?

Hello all!

I was recently reading the thread "What are the 10 commandments really about" and Pitar's comment included the following:

"There is no proper way to read the bible. Claiming there is a proper way tells everyone who reads it the message it imparts to them may be the workings of their imaginations only and not the intended message."

Are there people who agree with this statement - that there is NO proper way to read the Bible?

Here is the thread where Pitar's entire comment can be found. However, it is not completely necessary to read it for this discussion.
